Many thanks.

The offside rule is strange for a soccer person like myself, since it's not directly dependent on defensive positioning. That clears it up though, thank you.
Next I will look into thinks like where the face-off goes after each and every stoppage of play.
Thanks dudes.
EDIT: So Icing only occurs when a player dumps it from their anywhere in their defensive zone, correct? It's not dependent on being behind their net or anything like that?

Penalties are almost all obvious
Charging - someone takes 3 strides or goes full speed into another player
Roughing is just well.. Roughing up another player
Instigator is when a player forces another into a fight (not mutually agreed fight)
Hooking, is literally hooking someone with the stick
High sticking is hitting someone in the face with a stick(you get 2 penalties (double minor) if blood is drawn)
Boarding is basically a nasty hit when a player is thrown into the boards (usually from a couple feet out)
Delay of game can mean the following:
-grabbing the puck and throwing it
-goalie intentionally freezing the puck with no opposing players around
-player shooting the puck clear over the glass in their own zone without hitting anything first
-goalie handling the puck in the corners
-if two players of the same team were thrown out of a face off (on the same face off)
Spearing (rare penalty) is when someone jabs the other with their stick
Slashing is either a violent swing at a player or a swing which breaks the stick (either player)
Hit against the head... Any hit where the shoulder or elbow hits the head as the main point of contact (I would assume they won't call elbowing anymore at this point)
Interference is holding back or hitting a player without the puck
Holding is... Well holding the player
Intent to injure (auto 5 minute major and game suspension I think)
Game misconduct/10 minute misconduct and 20 minute misconduct are just "get out of the game" penalties
A major penalty the player has to serve the whole time... When a goal is scored they don't leave the box, while a minor they leave the box as soon as someone scores (hence the term 2 minutes or less)
A double minor is two minors back to back, if the team scores in the first 2 minutes, the penalty time resets to 2 minutes (that would be the remaining 2nd minor)
If a goalie throws their equipment at a player on a breakaway, it's an automatic goal (rare)
If a player throws theirs equipment at another while on a breakaway, it's a penalty shot (rare)
If a player puts their glove on the puck in their own crease, a penalty shot will be called against them (rare)
If someone holds back a player from behind or trip them without touching the puck enough that a good scoring chance can occur, a penalty shot will be called (this is the one time it's legal to trip someone)
I have a good feeling about tomorrow. People have been saying that there is no way the Habs can win that game, but I think the combination of laying a complete goose egg on opening night (and the hellish practice Martin hopefully put the team through) and the huge amount of pressure the Jets players will no doubt be feeling (to secure a win for the fans who have been waiting 15 years) leaves a lot of opportunity to steal that one.

wow, what the fuck, I nearly had a heart attack!
Lots of panicking from the Leafs and some bonehead plays.
I hope they use this as a learning lesson.

I get tunnel vision when I watch and tend to only follow exactly where this puck is, if you understand what I mean. I guess all of you guys use the entirety of the screen when you watch, as weird as that sounds. Quick angle changes also obscure my immediate interpretation of calls.DopeyFish said:
I'm very oblivious when it comes to understanding what I'm watching in hockey. I'm not ashamed to admit that at all.

I would have expected this in the first game as Leafs/Habs is usually high scoring back and forth but WTF man

You guys had your backup goalie on the back end of a double header and he held his own until the team in front of him started to break down. If it wasn't for some big Thomas saves the game would have been much closer. Tampa has a tough schedule early but that means more home games down the stretch. I would not be suprised to see them in the ECF again.
